More than an ecclesiastical or political history; this book is a vivid description of the earliest American immigrant experience. It depicts the dramatic tale of the seventeenth-century newcomers to our shores as they were drawn and pushed to make their way in an unsettled and unsettling world.

Assmann brings profound insight into both the historical aspect of this story; but a shrew understanding of how our collective memory of this period has shifted and changed over time - and geography. How historians back to Manetho have given different meanings to the story is fascinating. But never disheartening; thanks to Assmann.I'm going to buy several copies - it's going to be my Christmas gift of the year. Thank you; Professor.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
